Following the <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a> instructions I zipped the live drupal site,<br>
downloaded to my work pc.<br>
Unzipped the copy to /var/www/ which recreated the identical site on my pc.<br>
Installed clean database of same name and password as the live database.<br>
phpmyadmin on the live site - create the copy .sql file, copied that to<br>
my pc then mysql newdatabase < copy.sql to create and populate the data<br>
tables.<br>
<br>
Everything worked well.<br>
However when I browse /localhost/newsite I see the site copy error<br>
message: "Site under maintenance".<br>
<br>
Copy folder has same permissions as my other drupal installs although I<br>
did notice that the copy originally had all root ownership, I changed to<br>
user ownership. permissions seem identical to other drupal 7 install.<br>
.htaccess exists.<br>
sites/default/settings.php exists<br>
settings.php has no $db_url directive mentioned in the <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a> tutorial.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have tried loging in as user, admin using the same usernames and<br>
passwords as the live site but cannot get past the maintenance screen.<br>
<br>
What did I do wrong?<br>
How should I switch off the maintenance message?<br>
What causes this problem and how should it be avoided in the future?<br>
<br>
How can I log in?<br>
<br>
Help greatly appreciated<br>
